3.5

I didn't expect this. The rating, I mean. A couple of years ago I watched the movie, and I really enjoyed it. Earlier this year I read a different book by the author, The Sun Is Also A Star, and loved it - possibly one of my new favorite books. So, I expected to love this as well.

But I didn't.

It's not that I disliked it. I was into the story, I really liked the illustrations between chapters. But I just didn't love it, and a rating higher than 3.5 doesn't feel accurate to me.
